uPVC Doors

uPVC doors are a modern and attractive solution that will help to keep your home warmer, quieter and more secure with virtually no maintenance. Most uPVC doors have a galvanised steel core, making them extremely resistant and long lasting, whilst also offering energy efficient qualities which could lead to reductions on your heating bills.

Benefits of uPVC Doors

Energy Efficiency

Modern external uPVC doors need to fulfil a multitude of roles including reducing drafts, providing increased security and enhancing the appearance of your home. All uPVC doors have multi-chambered profiles which help to improve their insulating qualities and a properly fitted uPVC door will help save the typical household between £10 and £50 a year.

Acoustic performance

uPVC doors are well known for their acoustic performance, and are the perfect addition to your home if noise pollution is a problem. Installing a uPVC door has the ability to reduce noise levels within your home by as much as 50%.

Triple Glazing

uPVC doors are also available with the addition of triple glazed glass. Triple glazing is 35% more energy efficient than standard double glazed doors, whilst also enjoying other qualities such as noise reduction and enhanced levels of security.

Design

Another major advantage of uPVC doors is that you can customise them to your individual preference. A minimalist, flat panel design is a cost-friendly option for people looking for a durable, high quality door on a budget, whilst those considering a more elaborate design can choose from a range of glass options including Pelerine, Minster Autumn and Sycamore. uPVC doors are also available in a variety of modern and traditional styles including Geneva Mira, Bordeaux and London Virgo with a choice of colours including Brilliant White, Golden Oak and Rosewood.
